Adobe Photoshop Question

[Aimster]

I have a picture of a person at a park and I want to keep the person's image while changing the entire background to black while still keeping them in the picture.

How do I do this?

 

[FleshLight]

Use the magnetic lasso tool to highlight the person. Then invert do whatever u do to make it black.

it's not that easy. i think you need to use the lasso and select the person, copy and paste him/her in new file, and work with the background from there. however, the lasso tool does not always filter out everything so you may need to use zoom. i'm not an expert and haven't really done it so i can't tell you, but that's what i'd try.

by the way, whatever happened about the 2am AOL calls?

I make a channel copy (Usually the one with the highest contrast) and make a mask and paste a background behind it.
